With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Nygmia icilia sighting in Hyderabad on a given day, based on 21 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 123rd most-seen of the 318 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August to June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Nygmia icilia in Hyderabad on a given day, against under 5% in July, the lowest month.
Between 10 pm and 1 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Nygmia icilia sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Nygmia icilia sightings, Hyderabad ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Kochi (India, about 10%).
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Nygmia icilia that you can see in Hyderabad (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Sandalwood Defoliator (about 20%), Dot-Underwing Moth (about 10%) and Banyan Tussock Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Nygmia icilia is recorded against all the insects logged in Hyderabad (21 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
